– CANADA, Vancouver – Trevali Mining Corporation (TSX: TV | BVL: TV | OTC: TREVF | FRA: 4TI), today announced that Jessica McDonald has stepped down as Chair and a member of the Board of Directors and that Jill Gardiner, a director and current Chair of the Compensation and Human Resources Committee, has been appointed in the role of Board Chair.
Ms. Gardiner joined the Trevali Board in July 2019 having brought with her a wealth of public company board experience, including as a former chair of the board of Turquoise Hill Resources Ltd., and a strong background in finance, capital markets and corporate governance. She currently sits on the board of Capital Power Corporation and had a distinguished career in investment banking spanning over 20 years.
Ricus Grimbeek, President and CEO of Trevali, has been appointed to the Board filling the seat left vacant by Ms. McDonald’s retirement from the Board.
Ms. McDonald joined Trevali’s Board in October 2017 and was appointed Chair of the Board in March 2019, in addition to serving as a member of the Transition Oversight Committee that was formed to oversee the board renewal and leadership transition process at the Company in early 2019.
In these various roles, Ms. McDonald has been instrumental in the progression of the company, particularly the leadership and direction that she provided to the management team during the transition period following her appointment as Chair of the Board, as well as her role in the board renewal process and the recruitment and successful onboarding of Ricus Grimbeek as Trevali’s President and CEO. During Ms. McDonald’s tenure as Chair Trevali also took critical steps to improve its focus on environmental, social and governance issues, including the publication of the Company’s first annual Sustainability Report and the enhancement of a governance framework to enable the Company to successfully meet the interests of its shareholders and other stakeholders.
Mr. Grimbeek commented: “On behalf of the management team and my fellow directors, I would like to thank Jessica for her contribution to Trevali. She led the Company through an important transition, and I am personally grateful to have had the opportunity to work closely with her over the last year. We are also very grateful that Jill has accepted the appointment as Board Chair. She has made a significant contribution since joining the Board last July and we look forward to taking the Company even further under her leadership.”
